Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 9 is $40 off at Costco and comes with over $50 in freebies

The Galaxy Watch 9 launches on August 7th, and not only does Costco have the best preorder incentives we’ve seen so far, the watch is also discounted. The deal includes the 40mm Watch 9 in cream or graphite, two wireless fast chargers for the watch, and a $50 Costco gift card, all for $339.99 — $40 less than the list price for the watch on its own directly from Samsung. The discounted price erases the $30 gen-to-gen price bump, and the extra chargers and gift card further sweeten the deal. If you aren’t a Costco member, a year of membership is only $65, which is less than the value of the free items in this purchase.

There are some changes to the new watches from the Watch 8. The brand says the new chip, a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite, is built specifically for AI performance, and there are new health tracking features, plus better battery life, to boot. We got to spend some time with the Watch 9 and Watch 2 Ultra at Samsung’s July 2026 Unpacked event, so make sure to read our initial impressions of both watches if you’re curious about how the upgrades feel ahead of their early August launch.
